2020 Quincy Notre Dame Hall of Fame Inductee: 2010 Girls Soccer Team
(EDITOR’S NOTE: The 2020 and 2021 classes are being inducted into the Quincy Notre Dame Hall of Fame together this year. The 2010 girls soccer team will be inducted on Friday, Nov. 26 before QND’s boys basketball game.)
The 2010 girls soccer team started a run of dominance that hasn’t been matched in the state, winning the first of five Class 1A state championships in the decade.
The Raiders finished with a record of 24-2, losing only to Chatham Glenwood and Divine Savior out of Milwaukee, Wis., and they allowed just 10 goals and posted 15 shutouts during the regular season. QND defeated Springfield Lutheran 7-0 and Pleasant Plains 5-1 in the Class 1A Williamsville Regional, and then knocked off Alton Marquette 7-0 and Columbia 4-1 to win the QND Sectional. Two more shutouts were pitched at the state tournament with a 1-0 victory over Rockford Lutheran in the semifinals and a 2-0 victory over Manteno in the title game.
Senior Leigh McLaughlin led the team with 27 goals and 12 assists, while sophomore Shannon Foley added 24 goals and 15 assists. Jordan Frericks contributed 15 goals, and senior defender Alex Reis had 10 assists and anchored a defense that allowed just 12 goals all season.
